What Once Was

What once was
Isn't now,
Just because.

When we were
Fuzzy is
Still a blur.

How it went.
No longer
What we meant.

Who, they say,
Fallen.
Gone away.

Where we used
To keep lying.
Lies asleep.

The way we used
To go, now runs
Along the main road.

Why I chose that life
When I couldn't cut it
With a knife.

Where we all went
Wrong.
Expecting we could get along.

How the roof came down.
No support
In that lofty town.

What to do now?
Raise our hands
Above our brow.

Why didn't I see before?
Too lonesome to open
The other door.

But I see it now.​
